AWS in-row heat exchanger to reduce water use by 9% over evaporative air-cooled data centers
Custom solution deployed for AI workloads
The rapid expansion of AI workloads is creating unprecedented demands for data center energy and cooling, forcing innovation in efficiency to sustain growth.
Sophisticated readers should care because water scarcity is a growing constraint on compute, and solutions that drastically reduce water consumption are critical for the sustainable expansion of AI infrastructure.
Data centers, especially those supporting AI, now have a viable pathway to significantly reduce their water footprint, making large-scale deployments more feasible in water-stressed regions.
